However, no existing svg viewer can open these files because SVG 1.2 was never adopted by W3C and was actually dropped in 2005 in favor of development of SVG 2.0. See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.w3.org/standards/techs/svg#obsolete">https://www.w3.org/standards/techs/svg#obsolete</a> Inkscape has scapped their own plans of supporting multi-page SVG since it's not supported by any current SVG specification, and SVG 2.0 doesn't look like it will have multi-page either <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Multipage">http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Multipage</a> So, I would be willing to prepare a patch to have SVG treated like other single-page image files, so that calling pdftocairo would generate many SVG 1.1 files. Libcairo already has a <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> cairo_svg_surface_restrict_to_version() method. Would you be interested in such a patch?
